Unique Registered Owner and Company Identification Number Scheme –
Permitted Use of Numbers.

The IMO Registered Owner and Company Numbers are available free of any charge
from this web site. They are also distributed freely by IHS Markit to Flag Administrations.

Free distribution and use of numbers is permitted, subject to paragraph 4 & 5 (herein).

Flag Administrations are reminded of the following text from IMO Circular Letter
2554:
'IHS Markit operates under ISO 9001:9002 quality assurance and is ISO
certified for the provisions of publishing and information services to the
shipping industry. In order to maintain the integrity of the Numbers in
circulation amongst the maritime community, The Administrations should, to the
extent allowed by their law, not publish these Numbers, or allow the Numbers to
be viewed or downloaded from their web-sites, other than on a company-by-company
basis.'

Whilst free access via the web site using a manual search on a company by
company basis is permitted, access by any other means such as automatic
extraction or downloading software is strictly forbidden. IHS Markit reserve
the right to monitor and block web site access where
usage patterns indicate non-legitimate or inappropriate use; or the use of
the information directly or indirectly may violate any laws or proprietary
rights.

The Unique IMO Registered Owner and Company Identification Number Scheme
utilises the maritime Databases of IHS Markit. The IMO
Registered Owner and Company Numbers are the result of past and ongoing
data collection, data research and database activities of IHS Markit. The
intellectual property rights in the Numbers belong to
IHS Markit. Other than the IMO or Flag Administrations,
it is not permitted to use these Numbers in any commercial database,
commercial web-site or commercial data product, nor to distribute the
Numbers for commercial gain, without the prior written agreement of
IHS Markit.
